meet ups go go go!!!

naku anadami palang naiiscam na mga GT sisses dito...


well to avoid being scammed here are my tips:


1. make sure yung online seller pumapayag sa meet ups. pag hindi sya payag, sorry! but of course you should meet alfway for the convenience of both parties.
2. order items to the sellers na nakatira lang sila dito around the metro.
3. kung di talaga maiiwasan, kung tipong taga province yung onlinr seller, ask him/her if its ok to pay the half muna then you will pay the other half upon delivery of the items. i know malabo but there's no harm in trying. i've done this before and it worked =)

i dont think yung meetups could be a sure way to say that the seller is a legit one.

andami din kayang buyers na hindi sumisipot kaya may disadvantage din sa seller to, and most of the people who buy/sell here have day jobs to attend to kaya hindi rin talaga lahat nakaka-agree to meet up.

para sigurado, wag nalang bumili sa newbie sellers, always wait for feedbacks nalang.

[chelle_peachy0524]

the reason why i stated all these kasi naexperience ko lang naman. kaya nga me contact numbers so the buyer and the seller could meet half way. kung hindi naman magkasundo sa schedule, si seller move on to the next client si buyer shop na lang sa iba  saka we are talking about money. parang tinataya mo rin ang bulsa mo dito kung me isiship ba sa iyo o wala.

^ hindi naman por que hindi makapag meet up eh hindi na reliable. thats what the feedback system is for, ang pinakamagandang option na nakikita ko is to shop from ebay, or somewhere you can fish for feedbacks of the seller.

buy lang from sellers with good selling feedbacks, a lot of successful and reliable sellers I know doesnt allow pickups or meetups.

applicable siguro yang sinasabi mo sa newbie sellers, but in the first place, if the seller is a newbie and doesnt have selling feedbacks yet, para sakin, buyers shouldnt waste their time inquiring and maghanap nalang ng ibang seller to avoid future problems, Im pretty sure whatever that seller is selling, meron din sa ibang seller, kaya para sakin, dont waste time na on newbie sellers, discriminating, yes but then since we're talking about hard earned cash here, mahirap nang sumugal.

speaking from experience too, been scammed before and taught me a lesson for sure.

^korek sis, kahit nga taga-Manila na minsan hindi pa maka-pag meet up kasi gawa sa work schedule. eh paano pa kaya yung taga-malayo like me. may binebenta akong 1 product sa BB (worth 850 pesos+100 pesos sa shipping), gusto sana nung bibili eh meet up kami (alam nyang taga-province pa ako). hindi naman ako nainis o nagalit, natawa lang ako.  balikan pa lang sa manila eh makakagastos na ako ng 600 pesos tapos kakain pa ako syempre. lol

^ and the most important angle na dapat nakikita din ng buyers is, hindi ang selling ang sentro ng buhay ng sellers, some sellers do online selling as sideline lang, they have other things to attend to kaya minsan mahirap makipagcommit to meet up with a buyer anytime.

may mga seller dito na reliable naman pero may buyers na namimilit na meetup nalang kahit gano pa kadaming feedback dyan na may mga satisfied buyers ka na, minsan they fail to realize yung bibilhin ba nila sulit sa tutubuin once dumayo si seller at makipagmeet para lang mabenta si item? okay siguro to kung bulk quantities. pero kung pa-isa isang item tapos used items pa, parang hassle especially if out of the way ang gustong meetup place ng buyer.

kasi halfway doesnt mean it would still be fair for both the buyer and seller eh, lalo sakin, yung buyers ko kadalasan taga QC, e im currently staying here sa Cavite not in Katipunan, so ang halfway would be Makati, kahit gas or pamasahe pag nagcommute malulugi ako haha! fair yun for the buyer, kasi sya ang bibili eh, kaso pano naman the seller, di ba?

^tama, kasi hindi naman ako talaga full time na seller, parang ilang beses pa nga lang ako nakapag benta kasi di naman ganon karami yung makeup ko. parang nanghihinayang ako sa product kaya ibenta ko na lang kesa ma-stock lang sya. so pag meet half way kame baka sa expressway yun or baka sto.tomas batangas? haha

me kanya kanya tayong point but anyway the best pa rin ang pag iingat =)
